Medicines for people with disabilities.

In a supervision that the Tukuy Pacha physiotherapist performed at the Reception
Center María Cristina Alonso, the different needs that live within this institution that
receives more than 87 children, adolescents and young people with different types
of disability were verified.

It was evidenced that there are needs in relation to the infrastructure of this center, for
example: all the windows should have a plastic material to avoid that the shelters get hurt
with the glass that is now in the windows. It is common for children with disabilities to break
glass because of games, accidents or manias typical of people with intellectual disabilities. 
These accidents have already generated health problems in some children. Unfortunately,
changing all the glasses of this center supposes a high expenditure of expenses.

On the other hand, repairs are needed in the walls and ceilings of the center because 
it is an old construction and humidity and time have worn away this infrastructure. 
Although children live in acceptable conditions, these repairs would surely give them
a better quality of life.

However, we believe that the most urgent problem to be solved is that of the supply of
medicines. A significant percentage of the children of the María Cristina Alonso Center
have intellectual disabilities and the treatments for these conditions must not be lacking
to ensure stability in their health condition.

With this small project we will help cover one of the most important needs of this reception
center. Your support is fundamental to fulfill our mission and commitment towards this
 group of children, like Tukuy Pacha we will be attentive to your donations and
consultations.

Thank you for your support and trust.

Dear friends from GlobalGiving and the Tukuy Pacha Association:

Thanks to the financial support that we received through GlobalGiving in our previous projects, we are going to be able to provide to 87 children with disabilities medicines. Our hope is that they will be able to continue their treatment. In the María Cristina Alonso center many medicines are used because those who live there have different disabilities.

As you understand we are going to responded to a direct need of this children.
It is important to mention that all of them have been abandoned by their parents and now the government is responsible for them.

Without a doubt it is a very good job they do, but the problem arises when they do not have all the necessary resources to attend to children in all their needs. Unfortunately these children can not stop their medical treatments so this project will ensure that these continue

In the center María Cristina Alonso live children with different disabilities: physical, mental and mainly intellectual. For this reason, several types of medicines are needed to meet all the specific and general needs of this vulnerable population
We hope that this report will encourage you and other donors to support this initiative, This medicines can make a huge difference in these people's life, and will improve their quality of life.

Thank you for your support and trust.
